    The Procedure: What To Expect

    Your breast lift will be done under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Fenner will create the incisions:

    Standard

    A standard breast lift involves incisions around the areola, down the front of the breast, and along the breast crease. As the most intensive option, the standard approach produces the most dramatic transformation.

    Lollipop

    Ideal for patients who need a moderate lift, the lollipop requires an incision around the nipple and down the front of the breast.

    Doughnut

    The doughnut approach is slightly less intensive than the standard and the lollipop. It only requires incisions around the areola and is best for women with very small breasts.

    Once the incisions have been made, Dr. Fenner will reshape and elevate your breast tissue and trim away excess skin. After sculpting your new, lighter chest, he will carefully close the incisions to prevent unsightly scarring.

    Breast Lift + Implants

    For many of Dr. Fenner's breast lift patients, implants may be needed to create a full and perky chest. As a leading Chicago breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Fenner has many years of experience performing breast augmentation surgery in conjunction with the breast lift procedure. By combining these two approaches, Dr. Fenner is able to help his plastic surgery patients achieve results that are proportionate and natural.

    What Is Breast Lift Recovery Like?

    Most of our Kenilworth, IL patients are able to return to work within one week of their breast lift procedure. However, the full healing process can take several weeks. During this time, pain and discomfort are normal and to be expected. You will need to limit bending and heavy lifting for several days, and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. Dr. Fenner will provide you with a personalized recovery timeline during your post-operative appointments.

    Breast Lift FAQ

    Will a breast lift affect my ability to breastfeed in the future?

    While many women retain the ability to breastfeed after a breast lift, it's not guaranteed. The procedure reshapes and repositions the breast tissue, which could impact the milk ducts or nerves. If you're planning on having children and breastfeeding in the future, it's important to discuss this with your surgeon during the consultation.

    Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures, like implants or a tummy tuck?

    Yes, many women choose to combine a breast lift with other procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. A breast lift is commonly combined with breast augmentation (implants) or reduction, and it can be part of a mommy makeover, which often includes a tummy tuck and liposuction. Combining procedures can streamline recovery time and enhance overall results.

    How long do the results of a breast lift last, and can it prevent future sagging?

    A breast lift offers long-lasting results, but it doesn’t stop the natural aging process. Factors like aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and gravity will continue to affect the breasts over time. However, maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your results for many years.
